Rope-A-Dope

I have to hand it to the President. The man is one shrewd card player. He lets the opposition be their own worst enemy. This thing about his time in the ANG has been rather entertaining. First, he gave them just enough that he looked like he might be hiding something.

This only enraged the Democrats. The press rose to the bait like sharks to a blood scent. Then as everything reaches a fever pitch, he releases the whole enchilada. Now it becomes as Shakespeare said, “a tale, told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.”

Mohammad Ali called it “rope-a-dope.”

I love it! The true Bush haters will persist. They have gone too far down this emotional road to turn around and recover their sanity. They will persist and look more and more like the fools they are. As this realization slowly sinks in, they will blame Bush for their own stupidity and hate him even more. They will become victims of Charles Krauthammer’s Bush Derangement Syndrome.
